At the time, like most lads who knew nothing about football, I supported United. My best pal was a City supporter who was taken to matches at Maine Road by his mother.
On one occasion, they dragged me along to a game against the mighty Billy Wright and his Wolves team. I went along to see City beaten. After about twenty minutes, City led 3-0 but Wolves scored just before half-time. The final score was City 4 Wolves 6 (six) !!!!
I went to more games at Maine Road during the following years and at the start of their relegation season 1962-63, I saw the light and declared to the world that from then on, I would support City. I attended every match played at Maine Road involving the first team until I missed the goalless Nottingham Forest game in 1977.
